Chapter 322
Xiao Shengzhou came back from the capital and went home for a while.
He rarely ran into his uncle Xiao Yu.
Uncle Xiao was in a hurry at home and was going to go out after sitting for a while. Xiao Shengzhou went out with him.
They got into uncle Xiao's flashy red sports car.
Xiao Yu looked at his nephew sitting in the passenger seat dissatisfied.
"I only keep this seat for the girl I love."
Xiao Shengzhou: "..."
"Uncle, is the girl you love different every time??"
"No, generally the passenger seat of one car is occupied by the same girl for a period of time. If there are two girls at the same time, I would change to another car. I'm still relatively faithful."
Xiao Shengzhou: "..."
"Do you still remember your equestrian coach Steven?"
"Who?" Xiao Yu knocked his head, "Oh, that equestrian coach? He's still at your equestrian club? You're quite capable."
"Uncle, haven't you checked WeChat moments recently?" Xiao Shengzhou felt helpless.
Xiao Yu really hadn't checked recently. Lately he met a high-level green tea girl who liked playing games, was a bit lazy, and liked raising cats and dogs.
Usually straight men would think:
Likes playing games = frank and straightforward personality
A bit lazy = cute and harmless
Likes raising cats and dogs = kind-hearted
But in the eyes of veterans in identifying green tea girls:
Likes playing games = has many male friends
A bit lazy = no independent job or normal income Likes raising cats and dogs = likes to live a superior life
Comrade Xiao Yu can be said to be a veteran in dating. Naturally he could tell with one glance, but this girl looked pretty and was his type. He just liked this kind of girl, so he was still very attentive to her.
You like my money, I like your looks: a perfect match!
Of course top-level green tea girls still needed some effort. Outwardly they didn't care about money and only valued feelings.
Xiao Yu had high tolerance for girls with good looks. He was also willing to cultivate feelings.
Cultivating a relationship still took some time. And the other party was pursuing feelings, so naturally he couldn't insult her with money. Xiao Yu drove his luxury car to accompany her to watch the sunset and sunrise, to get in touch with nature. The most expensive gift was fruit he picked by himself. He even made a grasshopper with grass by hand.
There was no other way. Playing with feelings took time, time equaled money. This was even more expensive than giving luxury goods.
The girl this time was pretty and had charming independent personality. So Xiao Yu let her pay the bill several times when they were dining out. At most he would pay for his own gas for driving.
Seeing her feeling hard to explain, unwilling to give up yet unable to continue, Xiao Yu was having fun teasing her.
He hadn’t checked WeChat Moments much.
“I and Steven took Xiao Qi to participate in an equestrian competition in the capital. She won the championship again and got a $100,000 prize.”
“Fuck!” Xiao Yu, who hadn’t read books for a long time, shouted out the classic two-character surprised phrase. “Really?”
“Yes, it was sponsored by the brand you often buy bags and accessories for your various girlfriends... Uncle, focus on driving. I haven’t had a girlfriend yet...” Xiao Shengzhou felt the car scrape against something. He didn’t know which part of the chassis it was.
Xiao Yu smiled awkwardly.
But hearing his nephew say he hadn’t had a girlfriend yet, he couldn’t help laughing out loud again.
“When I was your age, girlfriends came in batches.”
Xiao Shengzhou didn’t care about his uncle’s ridicule. His uncle was only a few years older than him.
“Uncle, you said you liked Xiao Qi before. How about now?”
“Weren’t you the one who angrily told me not to pester the girl? I thought you liked her. Even shameless as I am, I wouldn’t snatch a girl from you.” Xiao Yu said nonchalantly.
Looking at the open road ahead, scenes of the girl with short hair galloping on a horse looking very cool, the girl writing calligraphy with a brush surrounded by a group of people calmly, the girl jogging with sweat on her body but still holding her head high, and the girl on the bus with the wind blowing her messy hair and she lowered her head smiling flashed in his mind.
It was the feeling of first love going back eight hundred years.
But he clearly felt that his dense nephew was very attentive to this girl.
He was attentive as before, taking her to TV interviews, rejuvenating the equestrian club, sending her to participate in competitions, accompanying her to buy houses. But it was different from before. Previously when his nephew was enthusiastic about school affairs, it was because he was the student union chairman and it was his job. He made contributions and gained benefits.
But recently, although there were no corresponding gains, he was still very active.
That thick-browed and big-eyed face still showed no awareness.
“Don’t worry. Such an innocent girl is not my cup of tea. I was just playing with her for fun.” Xiao Yu said with a laugh.
“You know uncle likes hot and sexy girls with good figures.” As he spoke, he made a circle gesture around his chest. Sweat was about to drip down Xiao Shengzhou’s forehead. He decided not to take rides from uncle anymore. Really asking for trouble, driving while talking...
“My boy, if you like someone, you should boldly pursue her.” Xiao Yu patted his nephew on the shoulder after making the gesture.
“Uncle, please focus on driving. Thanks.”
"Xiao Qi, what do you think of me?"
When Xiao Shengzhou returned to the equestrian club, he didn't hesitate for too long. Seeing Xiao Qi come over, he went up and asked directly.
He was in his senior year of university.
He had been the student union chairman for three and a half years. He almost got this position shortly after he entered university and kept it for many years.
It was rare for a freshman to become the student union chairman since the school was founded.
Xiao Shengzhou was very capable. He handled things carefully and never made mistakes when dealing with the student union, school and clubs’ affairs as well as his own stuff.
He always did things in an orderly manner, going with the tide cleverly. He also didn’t have emotional problems because he felt he hadn’t found the right person.
Hearing what his uncle said, he suddenly realized it.
He rode horses round after round with Xiao Qi before finally asking the question.
Upon hearing this question, Xiao Qi almost froze.
Fortunately, her horse riding skills were superb, otherwise she would have fallen off the horseback.
What was happening recently?
It was understandable that Li Wei Jin would say something like this. Li Wei Jin always caught people off guard. But the steady student union chairman would actually say something like this too.
"I admire you very much and I like you. You are very self-disciplined, excellent, hardworking and upward moving. You also have a good impression of me. I think we would go well together. It wouldn’t be dramatic or troublesome, but very relaxing." Xiao Shengzhou said.
He was considering it from a long-term perspective. He liked this girl Su Xiao Qi and felt she was someone he could spend his whole life with. Even if it wasn’t for a lifetime, they were suitable to be together for the long run.
Xiao Qi blushed a little hearing the praise from the chairman. She felt she was very ordinary and mediocre. Though many of her grades looked good to others, she had to spend much more time and energy than others to barely reach a level close to theirs. She was neither smart nor excellent, just more persevering.
Still it felt nice to be praised like this.
But being together?
Xiao Qi had never thought about it before.
She admired the chairman. Hearing what he said, it seemed like it would be good for them to be together, promising for the future. Chairman handled everything steadily so she guessed she wouldn’t need to worry. She wouldn’t cause much trouble either. Being together with mutual fondness and admiration sounded rational. But it seemed to lack something... no skipping heartbeats or ardent love.
At this moment, Xiao Qi understood the difference between her feelings towards Li Wei Jin and the chairman.
She could easily rattle off a list of the Chairman's good qualities, but when it came to Li Wei Jin, she could only stammer that he was good-looking.
She suddenly realized that the reason she couldn't articulate his good points was because her heart had been stirred, while the smooth recital of the Chairman's virtues was due to the fact that she had never considered him in any other way...
